Halloween

Thursday was Julie's birthday, and it was a good day. She enjoyed her presents and cake, and the girls had fun too. We all wore our party hats for cake at lunch time, and then we went out for supper. Jorja told Julie that she got to pick the restaurant because it was her birthday. In reality it wasn't entirely Julie's decision because we have to go somewhere that serves either chicken fingers or pizza (that is all the girls will ever eat at a restaurant). We went to Boston Pizza.

The girls in their party hats.

Just to prove I had a hat too.

Jorja was asking Julie something about her birthday, and Julie said that she wasn't going to have any more birthdays. Jorja replied, "You have to keep having birthdays so that you can die. Don't you want to go see that golden place?" At least the thought doesn't frighten her I guess.

After church today we went to Jerry's for lunch (as we do most Sundays) and after we were done eating the girls were playing in the play area. Jorja had to go to the bathroom and Ginny continued to play. She introduced herself to another little girl and found out this girl's name was Isabel. She knows another little girl who also has that name. As I was buckling her into her carseat to go home, I asked her about her new friend. She told me that 'she is one of the Isabels.' Maybe there's a whole gang of them, I don't know.

Tonight we took the girls out trick or treating. They had a blast and ended up with way too much candy. Ginny was dressed as a kangaroo, and her costume had a little joey sewn into the pouch on the front. She spent the entire evening with one hand on her baby and said at one point, "When Joey gets scared, I just cover his eyes." The later she said to Julie, "Joey is doing awesome, isn't he?"

It is obvious which one of them takes after their father with respect to eating Halloween candy. Ginny. We let them have a couple of things when they got in, and Jorja was taking her time, and Ginny was 'can I have one more? ...chomp chomp... I'm just gonna have one more... chomp chomp ... can I have another?'

The kangaroo.

The skunk.

The princess.

The haul.

This marks my last Sunday evening without having to wake up for work in the morning. It's not like the girls ever sleep in anyway, but I'm not looking forward to that 5:20 am alarm clock. I guess I better make the most of this week. Later.
